Margherita Pizza

Here is a restaurant copycat recipe for California Pizza Kitchen's Margherita pizza. This classic Italian pizza is made with Mozzarella cheese and topped with basil and Parmesan cheese. Read on to learn how to make this simple yet flavorful pizza at home using simple ingredients and limited cooking skills.

Pizza Margherita was first made in 1899 when Quenn Marghereta visited Napels.

I've never had much luck trying to make homemade pizza dough so I found the prepared pizza shells pictured to the right at my local Walmart for less than $2 a piece. Boboli also makes a nice shell that would work great with this pizza. This is a must.
